Logitech C920 Stereo Camera Housing

FDM/FFF 3D Printable housing for a homebrew stereo camera using two Logitech C920 webcams. Stereo cameras require high stiffness; tiny angular displacements can cause huge errors in your stereo rectification process. This necessitates a very robust system for retaining the cameras. The primary idea behind this design involves "clamping" the cameras are in place by three 6-32 machine screws (for each camera) in the reverse direction of the "clampingPlate". Definite room for improvement in material consumption, but general concept is successful. May update in the future, but at the prototype level, the design meets functional requirements. Feel free to use dimensions for your own design ideas.Equation file is required for assembly to compile, make sure you keep it. Hardware not modeled due to time constraints. Use countersink and pan head 6-32 hardware with matching nuts (any type) as appropriate. Note that images use pan head hardware where countersink should be used; the only drawback is the pan heads don't sit flush with the flat front surface, which is purely aesthetic.Printing tips: No support material required as long as you orient with common sense. Some sanding may be required depending on the dimensional accuracy of your printer; FDM/FFF machines tend to print above maximum material condition. I recommend -0.10 mm to -0.20 mm horizontal size compensation if your slicing software supports it.
